-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If one seed germinates and grows, 
that fruit will in turn
go on to generate even more seeds. 
Such is the hope 
for our youthful successors!
Cherishing and nurturing one person 
is the key to creating 
an eternal stream of capable people!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The Lotus Sutra, on the other hand, is known as a sutra that was preached in accordance with the Buddha's own mind. Because the Buddha's mind is an excellent mind, persons who read this sutra, even though they may not understand its meaning, will gain inestimable benefit.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"The Daishonin writes: 'If the Law that one embraces is supreme, then the person who embraces it must accordingly be foremost among all others. And if that is so, then to speak ill of that person is to speak ill of the Law' (WND –1, 61). Here, the Daishonin affirms that embracing the unsurpassed Mystic Law is superior to having any social position, recognition or honour. By the same token, slandering those who embrace the Law is equivalent to slandering the Law itself."
